I agree with you on that statement. My skin crawls every time I get near a CP. But I was trying to answer what I thought was your question. Perhaps I misunderstood. I don't see that the airlines have ignored anything. I also don't see the need to live my life in paranoia. Do the bag checks, metal detectors, even puffers (once they are working properly). The money now being given to the TSA would be better spent on maintenance of airplanes and on intelligence. Fix the problems that exist between different government agencies not sharing information and don't allow known terrorists to fly. Allow passengers to do what they now do and act when something is amiss. I'd be comfortable with that being the extent of what I need to deal with when I pay thousands of dollars for an airline ticket.
